A personal blog about quilting, sewing and life as a mother. Lots of free tutorials including beginning quilting tutorials, binding tutorials, and other sewing projects like bags, quilt blocks and nursing covers.

Southern Fabrics also has some great collections on sale, with precuts and yardage still available such as Noteworthy, Cuzco, Lark, and Marmalade - a super popular collection that is getting pretty scarce.

Today Aubrey of Southern Fabrics is giving away a $50 gift certificate (holey moley) to one of you readers. Leave a comment telling me something you’d buy from Southern Fabrics with that moola. Giveaway open until Saturday, August 31 at midnight MST. GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

Thank you to all of you for supporting these awesome sponsors. I’m very choosy about who I accept as sponsor’s of this blog. I know from personal experience that selling fabric is not always as glamorous as it sounds. It’s a lot of work for not a huge financial windfall and I’m so grateful to these independent businesses for supplying our fabric addictions needs. In turn, I am so grateful for the support of these sponsors so that I can justify the many hours spent sharing here. Huge thank you’s all around!

I am new to quilting, but I am already hooked. The first quilt I made was a crib size quilt made with owl print fabric from a fabric bundle. I haven&#39;t put the binding on yet but already bought the fabric for my next quilt, a cat themed, twin bed size quilt for my daughter. <br />I&#39;d buy a jelly roll to try, some charm packs, I especially like Posh Pumpkins and Cherry on Top and I would

I&#39;m new to the quilting world and just discovered Camille Roskelly and her lines… I&#39;ve been wanting to get some of the marmalade line for a bit but have been having a hard time finding it. (My resources are very small) thank you for introducing an online shop to me! Thanks for the chance to win!

Too many to choose from: sewing for granddaughters (dresses and the like), quilts for Christmas, and throw pillows to brighten up the living room. One can never have too much fabric or projects to choose from. Thank you!

I have been allergic to solids since I started quilting two years ago. I am working on this allergy and showed a pictures of an all solids quilt to our young man son. He liked it so I would buy solids or almost solids to make it for him. Thanks!

My eye immediately caught the Love – Half Yard Bundle in Blue by Amy Butler. There were so many great selections, but I think I would have to go with the above choice for what I would buy with the gift certificate.

Would I ever love to spend $50.00 for me on fabric. I can see chevrons, Road 15 and Bella solids. Am I ready to go shopping? Yes I am. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win such a fantastic giveaway from such a great sponsor.<br /><br />Sandi Timmons<br />sandit1@sbcglobal.net

Since I have never quilted anything in my life I thought I would try a jellyroll and Posh Pumpkins would be my choice. But then I would buy anything that caught my eye figuring if I can do a jellyroll I can do something a little more creative. So here is hoping I will win the drawing. And thank you for having it.<br /><br />Diane<br />dianecally@aol.com

Oh my! What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you Southern Fabrics!! First i would have to look through the patterns and find something perfect for my DGD, then I&#39;d find some fun fabric to go with it. Thanks for the chance!

They have lots of pretty things at Southern Fabrics. S&#39;more Love is on my list and Simply Style. They even have some prints from Simply Color. Might have to get some of those since I&#39;ve been using up what I have. Thanks for the chance to win, fingers crossed!

I just finished making 2 batches of jam today so I think it&#39;s MARMALADE for me! I have a couple cuts from the line but not enough to do anything with (I thought it was gone from the shelves and have been kicking myself for not buying more). Glad to see there&#39;s still some left!!

So many delicious fabrics to choose from! I would definitely like keep it sassy and soho chic. I would also like to add some Bella solids and maybe some dots to my stash. Thank you sooo much for the chance. Craftingmomma07@gmail.com

First of all thank you for the opportunity to win! Second, I just bookmarked your page and will be visiting frequently!! Now for the real question….I would probably finally give in and buy some of Moda&#39;s Oh, Deer! Collection. I have loved it since it came out but other projects have always kept me from indulging. That or I would buy some prints from Cuzco and make dresses for my girls. Love

I need the Noteworthy Fabric!!! I was in the middle of piecing a top with a couple of layer cakes of Noteworthy when my house flooded out and I had to move and that put a huge kink in everything. By the time I headed out to get yardage for the back, my store was sold out. Thank you so much for sharing this store with us!!!

Mmm, the fabrics are all so beautiful! I think I would choose Joel Dewberry&#39;s Heirloom Sapphire or Aviary 2 in Lilac OR Honeysweet by Fig Tree.<br />Thank you and Southern Fabrics for the opportunity to win.

Drat! Everytime I enter a Southern Fabric giveaway I have to go check them out and I end up buying something. And being very happy with it and them. <br />Simply Style – Dotty Mums is what is calling to me now.

I have only just now looked briefly at Southern Fabrics, what an eye opener! I had never heard of them before and they have such a huge selection. I think I would spend the money on more Westminster Fabrics to complement my Kaffe Fassett collection and then get on with it and make that quilt!

There are so many collections I would love to add to mine, but right now I think I&#39;d probably do some mixing and matching for a dress I want to make my daughter. The kind with lots of strips and a really full skirt.

Thanks for introducing me to Southern Fabrics. So many great choices … but I&#39;m really loving the &#39;notting hill, freshcut and countdown to Christmas&quot; Thank you and Southern Fabric for the giveaway!

I would purchase the Shades of Black – Layer Cake by Me and My Sisters (22145LC), then some bright colors. I once saw a quilt which was black and white, with a splash of a bright color here and there. It was beautiful.

Oh, the choices! I&#39;d definitely get some Amy Butler Love fat quarters as a surprise for my mom&#39;s birthday in October. She&#39;s been wanting some for ages. For myself, probably some Boo Crew – so cute!

I really need to build back up my stash of geometric prints and chevrons and such so that&#39;s definitely what i&#39;d get….until i went to check out and saw an ad for something totally different, LOL

Thanks for the opportunity! I&#39;d probably start out intending to buy some Riley Blake additions for the Modern Quilt Guild challenge. Then I&#39;d get sidetracked by all sorts of other goodness! <br />mmckee at wi dot rr dot com

Ooh! I would definitely be getting my hands on some of Kate Spain&#39;s Sunnyside. I love it!<br />Thanks too for the links to quality fabric shops. Since I am outside the US postage is a significant expense, so knowing you are buying from someone reputable makes it just that little bit easier….

There is so much to choose from at Southern Fabrics. I really like Sweetwater Road 15. But since I am trying to build a stash, maybe the sale fabrics are what I would go with! Thanks for a chance to win!

Perfect timing…I would love to have the Aviary 2 – Lilac – One Yard Bundle (8) by Joel Dewberry. My birthday is Aug 31st and I have never made myself a quilt, just for me. The colors and design are perfect for me. Thank you and Good luck to all.

I&#39;d put it toward a Fat 8 Bundle of High Street. &quot;Main Street&quot; in the town where I went to college was called High Street and this is a great collection. I&#39;m working on a Grandmother&#39;s Flower Garden and this bundle would be a perfect addition.

I love the colors and large flower patterns in Soul Blossoms! That would make something just for me. And I am addicted to any and all V and Co. The color and pattern use is great! Thanks to you and Southern Fabrics for such a great giveaway! kathleen dot lutz at doh dot state dot nj dot us

I&#39;ve always wanted to buy the Marmalade…LOVE the colors! I&#39;ve purchased from Southern Fabrics before (FAST shipping!). BTW, love the new quilt! I want to order it very soon. I have the perfect fabrics in mind

It&#39;s so hard to choose, I&#39;d love to get a scrap bag or two but I&#39;m not sure what else! My mental list of projects I want to do is growing longer by the day! Maybe some Honey Sweet to go with one of them.

383 comments!!! WOW! I&#39;d like to add my name to the list of potential winners! If I were to win this $50 gift certificate I would use it (and probably even more) to purchase a bunch of the FreeSpirit fabric for a quilt! That fabric is absolutely beautiful and would absolutely love to have some of it for my next project!!! Hugs, Carolyn

I would love to get some Aviary Lane, Gypsy Caravan, or simply style. Any of those three would be perfect to make a quilt for my grandmother (she is the hardest person to fabric shop for!). And it would be perfect timing since September is apparently National Sewing Month!! Thanks for the chance! – singwhilecrafting@gmail.com

I live in Augusta, GA and had not heard of Southern Fabric until today! If I win the gift certificate I would love to go and visit the shop personally and I would probably get some Fig Tree or some Riley Blake or Pat Sloan fabrics! So glad to hear of this Georgia store and wish her all the best!!!

Wow, I think that I&#39;d be torn between the &#39;wrens and friends&#39; and the &#39;simply color&#39; lines. They have so many great items, I&#39;m sure I wouldn&#39;t have a problem spending the moolah! Such a great giveaway – thanks so much!

It&#39;s so hard to decide, but I would like to have more of the 2wenty Thr3e fabric (I only have a little bit right now). Enough to make a quilt. I&#39;m also in the market for some fabrics for a quilt for our new camper!!

I would actually get the &#39;Simply Style&#39; range. <br />I made a Jelly Roll quilt with &#39;Simply Color&#39;, which I luved using. I absolutely adore the designs and colors on the fabric. And the fabric itself feels and looks really nice, crisp and fresh.<br />Just an all out valuable range of fabric…<br />Thank you for the awesome give away too.<br />Cheers Lis

I would get the Aviary 2 in Saffron, half-yard bundle, by Joel Dewberry. I&#39;ve been eyeing it for quite sometime and it would make a lovely quilt for our master bedroom. <br />Thanks for the chance to win!!

i&#39;m in need for some Flannel Marmalade – Layer Cake by Bonnie &amp; Camille, because i started a pattern with it, thinking it would make a baby&#39;s quilt, but, now i want to carry on to a larger scale and hopefully make it a king size (i know, i&#39;m a dreamer) so, now i have run out and ohhhhh im in love with this flannel!!!<br />Thank you for this giveaway, and thank you to the sponsors

Wow; thanks for the giveaway! Southern Fabric is awesome. My inner quilter said to say Pat Sloan Bobbins and Bits, but the inner grandma said kids patterns! I love their patterns, so I would spend the $50 on patterns for kids clothing! I love their blog and yours too!

What a great giveaway! I have always loved &#39;Nicey Jane&#39;, but missed most of it. I think it would make a darling quilt for my daughter&#39;s room. I didn&#39;t realize that I could get still get my hands on some – an precut – yay! &#39;Bluebird Park&#39; is also calling to me. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Hi! Thank you for a fantastic give away! Cuzco has been in my wishlist long time! Simply Style has wonderful prints and great colours – that would be perfect for my poor stash, too! And Marmelade … I miss flower fabrics! x Teje<br />nerospost(at)gmail(dot)com

I have been dying to get my hands on some Honeysweet so that is probably what I would buy. I have a fall applique quilt I want to get started on and those oranges would be perfect for my pumpkins! Thank you so much for the chance to win!

I have to admit that I am a fabric fanatic! I would have a hard time picking from so many beautiful fabrics. I love anything by Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Joel Dewberry…. I could go on and on. This is a great give away.

Oh I would use it to get as much Marmalade fabric as I could. I am making a quilt with it and need more.<br />Love anything from Bonnie &amp; Camille.<br />Cheers<br />maggie<br /><br />maggiemine42@gmail.com

I&#39;ve bought beautiful prints from Southern Fabrics a few times, but I keep running out of sashing and backing fabric, so I&#39;d probably stock up on some Bella Solids or a print like one from the Road 15 collection.

OMG! They have Cuzco Jelly Rolls! And they ship to Canada! I have always really loved the &quot;Lost City&quot; pattern for the Cuzco jelly roll, but have been nervous to tackle anything bigger than a baby quilt. Perhaps this will be my first?!, and on the house?

Honeysweet for me please!!! I am taking the Simple Fresh Quilts class on Craftsy and I really wish I could afford to buy some of the Honeysweet fabric to go along with it. I also really love the Simply Style too…actually I love it all. But those two are on the top of my wishlist right now.
